Josie Gibson lost around five stone (over 31 kg) by eating less, cutting refined sugar, following intermittent fasting,
Josie Gibson, known from This Morning and Big Brother, has openly shared her weight‑loss journey. Across multiple interviews and her book The Josie Gibson Diet, she explains that her transformation came from sustainable lifestyle changes rather than surgery or weight‑loss injections.
1. Eating Less & Whole‑Foods Focus
She reduced overall calorie intake.
Cut out refined sugar, choosing natural sugars from fruit.
Adopted a “1970s diet” emphasizing simple, minimally processed foods such as boiled potatoes, pork, liver, spam, beans, and smaller portions.
2. Intermittent Fasting
Followed an eight‑hour eating window.
Practised fasting three days a week.
Nutritionists note intermittent fasting can help some people but is not universally effective.
Regular gym sessions with simple circuits.
Included running, weighted squats, and sit‑ups.
Worked with trainer Rick Parcell from The Body Camp.
4. Flexible, Sustainable Approach
Allowed one cheat meal per week to avoid overly strict dieting.
Emphasised education about food and long‑term habits.
Josie has spoken about lipedema, noting her body retains fat differently, making weight management more challenging. Her recent Channel 5 show The 1970s Diet: Could It Work for You? explores whether retro eating habits can help modern obesity.
Her journey highlights that consistent lifestyle changes—rather than extreme diets or medical interventions—were central to her success.
